NASA’s Lunar Development and Test Facility Prepares Artemis Hardware for Moon – NASA

Before astronauts return to the Moon’s surface through NASA’s Artemis program, the hardware they depend on must first prove it can survive the unforgiving lunar environment. At NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, engineers at the Lunar Development and Test Facility are tackling one of exploration’s biggest challenges: Moon dust. Unlike sand on Earth, lunar dust is sharp, abrasive, and clings

APOD: 2026 August 7 – Rubin’s Cosmos Field – NASA Science

Explanation: There are more than half a million galaxies in the central panel of this image from the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile. This is the COSMOS field, a patch of sky several times larger than the full moon, first observed by Hubble. It has also been observed by Webb and other telescopes because it contains comparatively few bright stars from our own galaxy, offering

Sensing the Poles’ Hidden Heat – NASA Science

At the top and bottom of the planet, the seasons arrive on a schedule all their own. Satellite data from a mission measuring infrared energy reveal just how differently—and how dramatically—surface temperatures swing across two full years at the poles. In this animation, surface temperatures across the Arctic and Antarctic pulse between cold (dark blue)

Educators & Teens Get Hands-On With TEMPO Data to Help Investigate Local Air Quality – NASA Science

The NASA Science Activation Program’s Cosmic Storytelling with NASA Data (CosmicDS) project, led by Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, works to bring authentic NASA data into the hands of educators and learners. From July 27–29, 2026, the CosmicDS team partnered with the Smithsonian Institution’s BEST AQI (Breathing Easier: Supporting Teen Air Quality Investigations) project to

Astronauts Complete Spacewalk for Solar Array Modifications – NASA

NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Anil Menon concluded their spacewalk outside the International Space Station at 3 p.m. EDT. It was Menon’s first spacewalk and Meir’s sixth. During the 6-hour, 27-minute spacewalk, Meir and Menon completed their primary objectives, which included preparing the 3B power channel. This work will enable the future installation of roll-out

Hubble Focus: Gravitational Lenses ― Nature’s Giant Telescopes – NASA Science

What if you could build a telescope as big as a galaxy, or even bigger? Luckily, we don’t have to imagine, because the universe has already done that for us. “Gravitational Lenses: Nature’s Giant Telescopes” explores some of Hubble’s discoveries involving the cosmic lensing effect created when light is bent, distorted and magnified by massive

NASA’s SkyFall Helicopters at Work (Artist’s Concept) – NASA Science

This artist’s concept depicts NASA’s three SkyFall Mars helicopters collecting data while flying over the surface of the Red Planet. The green frequency waves emanating from the helicopters’ large antennas depict collection of subsurface radar data. The red beams depict collect near-infrared imagery data from regolith (crushed rock and dust) and other surface features. Equipped
